Lily Collins Wore a Braided Crown at the Governors Awards

Lily Collins always has a way of inspiring our beauty looks. After showing off an innovative cat eye method and a palette inspired by the dark arts, the actor returned to her casting roots for some red carpet inspiration. It may have been five years since Lily played Snow White on the big screen, but she looked every bit the part of real life princess on Sunday night thanks to glam fit for royalty.

Lily attended the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences Governors Awards in Los Angeles in a beauty look that seemed to be pulled straight from your favorite Disney movie. Instead of the usual tiara, she styled her hair into a double-braid crown, and fastened it into a chic chignon at the nape of her neck. Her light, shimmery makeup enhanced her fantastical vibes, and included a neutral metallic smoky eye, long, voluminous lashes, and a pink-nude lip with matching blush. As always, her bold brows were expertly brushed out. She paired her glam with an equally princess-like navy outfit featuring a velvet, off the shoulder bodice and sparkly chiffon skirt. The entire look would have been perfect for accompanying Prince Charming to a ball or for an awards show.

Lily’s makeup for the event was created by Fiona Stiles, who was also responsible for her gorgeous goth-inspired glam at the 2018 Met Gala, and her hair was styled by Gregory Russell. “Thanks @lilyjcollins for letting us paint and brush you!” Fiona wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Lily’s look, which as just as gorgeous in profile as it is straight-on. “Sleek look for the most beautiful @lilyjcollins this evening for the governors award,” Gregory captioned the same shot on his own feed.

Fiona drew inspiration for the makeup from the Victorian vibes in the hair, and wanted to make Lily look “soft and romantic.” She focused on giving her “tons and tons of lashes” (to compliment her gorgeous natural ones) and used Lancôme products — including a brown shade from the Auda[City] Palette and shimmer from the Les Toppings Palette — to complete the look.
